Pipelines are the safest way to transport energy products and serious problems are rare. However, if you live near a pipeline or have pipelines connected to gas appliances in your home, it is important that you are ready to quickly respond if there is a pipeline leak or rupture. Be proactive and know where pipelines are located in relation to your home and how to recognize a pipeline a leak and appropriately respond. Click here to learn how to find pipelines near your home and how to recognize and respond to a pipeline leak.

Residents and businesses located near pipelines should contact the pipeline operator any time they have questions or concerns. If you suspect a problem with the pipeline, leave the area and call 911 and the pipeline company only when you are a safe distance away. If you notice someone digging near a pipeline and the pipeline’s location isn’t clearly marked with temporary markings, such as yellow flags or paint, call the pipeline operator or 911.

Farmers and ranchers must contact 811 and, in some cases, the pipeline operator before starting any deep excavation activity or installing or replacing fencing or drain tiles on your property. Refer to UPA’s member directory for a list of members in your county and their emergency contact numbers. Emergency contact numbers are also listed on pipeline markers.

Yes, pipelines are the safest way to transport energy products. The US Department of Transportation’s Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) and the Utah Public Service Commission’s Office of Public Utilities regulate pipelines in Utah. According to government and industry statistics, improper or unauthorized digging near a pipeline is a serious problem. Calling 811 before digging on your property or near a pipeline right-of-way is required by law and protects pipelines and the safety of others.

Utah law requires homeowners, ranchers, farmers and professional excavators to call 811 or their local One-Call center at least two working days prior to digging, except when gardening and tilling on private land. When you dial 811, a local One-Call center representative will notify pipeline operators regarding your excavation project. Operators will come out to locate and mark the location of their lines. Depending on the specifics of your project, the pipeline operator may elect to be on-site while you are digging.

Once lines are located, respect the marks, and dig with care. Don’t forget to call a local professional to locate any customer-owned lines that are excluded from the One-Call process. For more information regarding the One-Call process, temporary markings and customer-owned lines, refer to “Find Pipelines Near You.” Read the details of Utah’s damage prevention law.

Operators of gathering pipelines and natural gas transmission and hazardous liquid lines place permanent signs, called pipeline markers, along their pipeline routes at roadways and railway crossings and at aboveground facilities to identify the general location of pipelines. Pipelines maintained by your local gas company typically do not have permanent pipeline markers.

Markers can vary in size, shape and color, but all markers include important information about the pipeline, including the product transported, the pipeline operator’s name and the operator’s emergency contact number, to report pipeline problems. Line markers do not indicate the depth of the line, the number of lines in the area or the exact location of a pipeline.

Pipeline markers are important safety signs. It is a federal crime to willfully deface, damage, remove or destroy a pipeline marker. If you notice a damaged marker, or accidentally damage a marker, please contact the pipeline operator. See examples of different marker shapes.

A pipeline right-of-way usually includes the land above the pipeline and approximately 25 feet on each side. Rights-of-way are typically cleared of trees, shrubs and structures to protect the pipeline and provide access for operators to conduct inspections and maintenance procedures.

If you have a pipeline easement on your property, review the details of your agreement and talk with the pipeline operator before planting, digging or building near the right-of-way. Typically, your local county courthouse can provide a copy of your easement agreement.

Utah law requires that you call 811 or your local One-Call center at least two business days before excavating. If you call One-Call over the weekend, you may or may not be able to submit your request depending on the individual center. Professional excavators can also submit requests online or by fax. Contact your local One-Call center for more details.

Contact the pipeline operator immediately if you hit, dent, scrape or damage a pipeline. Even small scrapes, dents or nicks in the protective coating need to be assessed to prevent future problems. If the pipeline is leaking, leave the area immediately in an upwind direction, warn others to stay away and avoid using any electrical equipment or electronic devices near the leak. Call 911 and the pipeline operator from a safe location.

You can prepare for a pipeline emergency by knowing where the pipelines are located near your home or business. Review the signs of a pipeline leak and the appropriate response actions, including the pipeline operator’s emergency contact number. Keep the phone number in an accessible place with other important phone numbers. Click here to learn how to find pipelines near your home and how to recognize and respond to a pipeline leak.

Nephi City tree trimming work will normally be from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Monday - Friday excluding Holidays and emergencies. During emergency situations involving safety and/or power outages it may not be possible to notify the customer prior to trimming trees and vegetation. Tree limbs and debris from storm activity will be left on site and will be the customer's responsibility to clean up and dispose of.

No, Nephi City Power incurs the costs for the tree trimming crews that are hired by Nephi City. However, a customer may choose to hire their own certified professional tree trimming crew at their own expense.

Directional pruning concentrates on removing limbs back to a lateral branch. This type of pruning reduces how fast the tree grows back and directs most growth away from the power lines. Nephi City Power realizes that the appearance of the tree may suffer, however this type of trimming is healthier than older techniques such as "Topping" or "Shading" methods.
